SUMMARY:January 21\, 2025: Real Escape from the Sex Trade (REST)
DESCRIPTION:TIME: Noon\nLOCATION: Sunset Hill Community Center \nJoin us in learning about the non-profit Real Escape from the Sex Trade (REST). When REST started in 2009\, the majority of organizations turned away sex trafficking victims because the trauma experience was too complex and the symptoms too overwhelming. The implication was that survivors didn’t deserve exit services\, and non-profit REST disagreed! As gaps were discovered in existing services\, REST committed to building them\, always informed by the people they served. This relationship-first and needs-based model has driven REST’s growth. From early outreach to building relationships\, REST has evolved into a vital service provider\, offering survivor-centered\, trauma-informed services for hundreds exploited in the sex trade annually. Learn about the scope of this problem in our area\, and the work REST is doing to address it. \nPay for your lunch ahead of time: (Lunch Ticket for 1)\nhttps://swipesimple.com/links/lnk_8f18fd72

SUMMARY:July 8th\, 2025: Ballard Rotary Leadership Transition\, Marilee Fuller on Rotary International Peace Convention
DESCRIPTION:TIME: Noon\nLOCATION: Leif Erickson Hall\, 2245 NW 57th St \nThe first club meeting of the Rotary year 2025-2026 is notable for several reasons. First is the change of location to the Leif Erickson Hall. We are unable to use Sunset Hill Community Hall because the facility is hosting two months of summer camp for kids. Alana has nimbly secured our use of the Leif Erickson Hall for July and August\, with her hopes that our club will want to switch locations permanently. So it is important that you all attend and check it out\, so that you can weigh in on any move. \nSecondly\, this meeting will also be our official transition meeting\, with outgoing president Stan Miner passing the gavel to incoming president Alana Morris. This is a celebratory occasion that everyone should want to attend. We toast Stan with many thanks for his excellent year of service as President. We will also toast Alana with gratitude that she is willing to serve as President in the coming year. It’s time to party!!! \nAnd third\, this meeting will also include a program provided by Marilee Fuller\, past Ballard Rotarian (and past president!) and currently a member of University District Rotary. Marilee will report on the Rotary 2025 Presidential Peace Conference that took place in February in Turkey. It should be highly informative and inspiring! \nPay for your lunch ahead of time: (Lunch Ticket for 1) \nhttps://swipesimple.com/links/lnk_8f18fd72 \nNOTE: There will be NO Zoom/Owl link for this meeting.
